Screaming at Sam

Who the hell does Kinison, the angry dog spraying on anything/anyone, think he is when he equates himself with Charles Bukowski?!

Bukowski’s writings may or may not be misogynist, but there’s substance in what he says. His is an adult view of the up and down of life leavened with self-deprecating humor, unlike the adolescent napalm vomit of Kinison.

As for Patrick Goldstein’s comparison of Kinison (albeit remotely) with Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, it’s the lamest thing I’ve heard since Quayle likened himself to JFK.
